Herewith another news dump. Again, it is a interesting story about mystery cats, and I make no apologies for including it here. It is interesting to see how even the devolved governments in the UK are beginning to take the stories of mystery felids in the British countrysidee seriously. I will not be doing much more news aggregation this evening, but I seriously suspect that will be more news dumps either tonight or in the next few days.

Many apologies, again, for the break in our normal service JD
